My computer knowledge could be written on the back of a stamp....indeed, I think it was a huge mistake moving away from Windows 3.1....so I suppose my laptop is dead as it is showing that no hard drive can be found.
I have tried the stuff in the start up "esc" thingy with no luck.
I suppose the machine is now a couple of kilo's of trash. Sigh. Disappointed as it was only a year or so old.
EDIT....forget this.... I tried pressing buttons left, right and centre and for some reason I don't understand, it all seems to be working okay again.
Frankly, we made a mistake moving away from slide rules.... hell, I do wonder at times, whether we were wrong climbing down out of the trees
